NetWrench, a field kit for network installers
An Android app for ISP technicians and network engineers that configures routers, surveys Wi-Fi, scans local networks, and runs on-site diagnostics.
Field notes
NetWrench organizes field work into router, Wi-Fi, network, calculation, and connection-check sections rather than presenting a generic network monitor. Its vendor table covers MikroTik, OpenWrt, TP-Link, and Tenda, with different read, write, reboot, and setup operations exposed by model support. The available APK targets Android 8.0 or newer and includes a published SHA-256 checksum. The page says credentials remain in Android Keystore and that scanning happens only on command, with no analytics, crash reports, or advertising.
